Question:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is an atypical adrenal insufficiency
that is best treated with pure extract of licorice and I have every
intention of proving it to those who suffer from this disease. If you
have CFS, or if you are a medical professional, please follow this
thread closely.
I tried to make a lot of noise to lure Nurse Camilla into a public
debate but she is not responding. So now I challenge any and all
medical experts who believe that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is something
other than an atypical adrenal insufficiency to debate this issue with
me on the Internet starting now.
Any medical expert who believes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is something other than an atypical
adrenal insufficiency and is willing to debate me
Answer:
The syndrome you are describing as "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" sounds so
familiar to me because all the symptoms you listed were almost identical
to mine. I went to five or six endocrinoligists, until finally the last
one gave me a test (the technical name I don't recall). The test was
(1) draw blood to get cortisol levels; (2) inject an adrenal gland
activating hormone; (3) wait about 30-45 minutes and then draw blood
again to get cortisol levels. When this doctor got the blood tests
back, he was one heck of a doctor, because he called me on a Saturday
night and said that I had an adrenal insufficiency and that it "could"
be causing all of the negative symptoms you've already mentioned.
In any case, my therapy has become one five mg. tablet of prednisone
each morning -- and it has dramatically reduced the chronic fatigue.
Now, will this work for everyone with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? I doubt it. I think long
term scientific, double blind studies will answer the question with any
certainty. (Also, I am aware of the potential negative side effects of
long term prednisone use.)
